Conservatism and Liberalism: Two Books on the Great Divide
Edmund Fawcett, a former editor and correspondent at the Economist, grappled with one end of this polarity in “Liberalism: The Life of an Idea,” published in 2014 and revised four years later.
He now explores its opposing force in “Conservatism: The Fight for a Tradition.”
A self-described left-wing liberal, Mr. Fawcett calls his explorations “historical essays,” and indeed they are written in a reflective mode, though at times in an impassioned style. Members of both thought-categories will find much to learn from both books.
